I do not understand why there is no example about sending a tweet. The
other libraries also do not give this example. With courage and
fortitude we can a way, I guess.

Hey,

The reason that we chose not to give an example in the repository is
because in order to send a tweet, you have to be authenticated with
OAuth, which is a fairly complicated and involved process. It's easier
to keep this as its own distinct thing so people are aware of the
process.

The function you're looking for once you're authenticated is
updateStatus().

Hi,

it's not that complicated, I've found explanation for Tweepy library that was easy to follow and that worked.
Adoption of any python twitter library would be greater if there was working samples with a small command line utility that would guide the user through
the process of creating the various IDs/Codes to write into a settings.py file as constants that would be imported in the sample.

Regards,
- Frederic
